Investigators had determined that Young's body had been placed in a garbage bin on the 4900 block of West Hampton Avenue. The bin was emptied and taken to the landfill.

Lt. Kenneth Grams said police are using two cadaver dogs from People & Paws in the search.

With information from Waste Management, police were able to narrow the focus to a 200 by 200 square foot area.

Searchers are also using a bulldozer and a backhoe.

"This will be a tedious and ongoing procedure," Grams said.

Police will not search at night because of concern for safety of animals and personnel.

Meanwhile, a missing poster still sits on a tree outside the home where Young's mother lives. Inside the home, she and Young's sister told WISN 12 News they want the body recovered.

"It is my right as his mother to have him back. I don't care how. I just want him back," Young's mother, Annette Perry said. "Every day, I wake up crying. Every night, I go to bed crying. I don't close my eyes because I know I can't hear his voice."

"I'm still waiting to wake up and have somebody tell me this was all a dream. It's still not real to me," Young's sister, Harmonee Fletcher, said.

Five men have been charged in Young's death. They are scheduled to be in court Thursday.

This isn't the first time Milwaukee police have looked through a landfill for a body.

"The big problem is trying to establish where the body was dropped. It's a painstaking examination to go shovel by shovel and examine that whole area where any trash from the northwest side of the city would have been dumped that day," Spingola said.
